Hip life and Empire
records signed artiste Guru is set to undertake a senior high school tolerance
and patience tour within the ten regions of the country, beginning this weekend
in cape coast.
Known in real life as Nana
Yaw Adjei Maradona, Guru disclosed that he chose this project after an
encounter with an old man who he met some years ago.
According to the rapper,
the man told him some years ago that if he (Guru) and his generation will wore
the patience and tolerance cloth, many good things will fall on them. Well back
then the rapper said he did not understand the saying of the old man until he
recently encountered him again.
In their second meeting
the rapper said, ‘the man explained what he meant those days as, if only
children will be children just like what the good book says without crossing
the elderly and even thinking that they are adults every dream of theirs will
come to pass just like his has started’.
In hearing that, the
rapper decided to use that knowledge gained from the old man to help his fellow
young ones especially those in Senior High Schools.
Guru mentioned that, this
campaign is geared towards the ability to make young folks know that everything
they want to achieve in life is possible all they need is patience and
tolerance to watch their dream grow from strength to strength.
He maintained: ‘dreams are
the most expensive things in the world, the moment you throw your dream away,
you lose yourself hence if we as young
guys will not try to act like the elderly during our youthful days, we will
achieve more than our old folks did when they were young’.
In his ending words, the
hip lifer noted that, he had the spirit of patience and tolerance with a lot
motivation towards his dream in becoming a professional musician hence with
this project he wants to do same for these kids in senior high school by giving
them hope for a brighter day.
As we approach election I
hope to install in the young ones the act of tolerance their ability to over
look every annoyance and stay focused and also not to be used for negatively by
any politician before, during and after elections 2012, Guru’s final words.
This is a positive
campaign from a very controversial rapper like Guru and therefore we hope
everyone will support this agenda.
